Now Peter sat on the mountain top
Northern wind blowin' through his hair
Peter never took the time to stop
He just stood out there and stared
Peter didn't care 'bout the air down there
He was lookin' right out at the sun
The sun said, "Son, don't you come around here"
And Peter then began to run, aye
Now Peter, he never cried too much
He just looked out toward the west
He was dreamin' of a land that was way over there
And dreamin' of what comes next
But Peter didn't care 'bout the air down there
He was lookin' right out at the sun
And the sun said, "Son, come around here"
And Peter then began to run
He said, "La-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-day"
He said, "La-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-day"
Eh-eh

Well, now Peter, he started walkin' down the mountain
Just runnin' out toward the west
It was slippery like the water from the fountain
And Peter thought that was best
'Cause he slid down there to the town over there
And the people just started to cry
He don't care about that air
Peter was never shy
He said now, "La-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-day"
He said, "La-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-day"
La-dan-dan-dan- la-dan-dan-la-dan-dan-day
La-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-day, yeah
♪
Now he sang out loud to a unified crowd
Thinking something 'bout what he thought
He don't really know anymore this might be that he talking hard
He sat on top that mountain scream out his lungs for freedom and die
He used to sing with the bottom of a man
La-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-day to the night
He said now, "La-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-day"
He said, "La-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-day

But now Peter
Was looking round to the back and the mountain slip from under his feet
He don't care 'bout the air
He looking out at the sun
And when the sun said, "Son, don't come around"
Peter then began to run
He said now, "La-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-day"
He said now, "La-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-day"
